Hi Chaps,

I have a customer who is trying to set up the VPC using a Checkpoint
firewall and are having some issues. Does anyone there have
experience of setting this up - does it work? We've turned on BGP
(which we haven't been using before) but can't see where we set up the
tunnel. Has anyone any clues how to get this running?

Thanks,
Graham

Dear All,

It was a bit of a pain but the network engineers turned on BGP and did
some configuration and that did the trick. Although there isn't any
offical AWS doco regarding this for Checkpoint, the guys managed to
get it running by using the config from another firewall and modifying
it as appropriate. Well out of my confort zone though.

We now have SAP systems running in the AWS space connecting to systems
back in the regular data centre... Cool.

Cheers,
Graham
